艺人介绍
虽然The Zombies这个乐队并不怎么出名，但在British Invasion时期，他们也曾经红过一阵，在这张专辑之前已经发行过四张专辑，其中有不少上榜的流行单曲，第一张专辑里就有乐队赖以成名的流行经典She's Not There。虽然Odessey And Oracle这张专辑是乐队唯一入选滚石500佳唱片的专辑，也是乐队在All Music上唯一得到五星评荐的专辑，但是乐队的其他三张专辑也都有四星的评价，并不是“好不容易出了一张像样的专辑就马上散伙了”。事实上，在这张专辑发行之前，乐队已经解散了。虽然乐队解散的确是有商业上不够成功的原因，但不是由于乐队的音乐不好，而是因为当时Beatles的风头太盛，不光是The Zombies，其他几支风格近似的英伦摇滚乐队例如The Kinks等也都被压得喘不过气来。
The Zombies are an English rock band. Formed in 1961 in St Albans and led by Rod Argent on piano and Colin Blunstone on vocals, the band scored US hits in the mid- and late-1960s with “She’s Not There”, “Tell Her No”, and “Time of the Season”. Their 1968 album “Odessey and Oracle”, is ranked 80 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
In a recent Top 100 British Albums chart featured by NME, “Odessey & Oracle” was placed at Number 32, with the accompanying comment: “…British psychedelia with a kaleidoscopic vision that rivals even The Beatles.”
The Zombies are cited as influences by many major mercurial artists such as COURTNEY LOVE, BADLY DRAWN BOY, PAUL WELLER, SUPER FURRY ANIMALS, MAGIC NUMBERS, BILLY JOEL, and the ARCTIC MONKEYS. Zombies songs are regularly covered live by such varied artists as BECK and BELLE & SEBASTIAN, not to mention being used in films and TV shows (‘Dear Wendy’, ‘Awakenings’, ‘Kill Bill 2′ and ‘The Simpsons’ to name but four…) – evidence that their music really is as fresh and relevant today as it ever was.
The band take to the road again in May 2011 to mark the 50th anniversary of their first getting together in St Albans in Easter 1961.
